Southern Golden RETRIEVERS IS GOING 100% VIRTUAL
AS ALWAYS!
You will be able to follow your pup and its litter mates as they grow with either daily, weekly, and/or bi-weekly pictures (depending on age) that will be posted here and/or sent to you directly and/or by live video chats where you can see pups, mom and environment in real time. Please be mindful that I too have a life and I may not always be available to do video chats but I will make appointments that work for you as well as myself. |
Let me start off by saying that we are always extremely proud of the fact we are 100% transparent with all of our Past and future retriever family and thats never going to change! Having an open door policy was something we took great pride in because this was a way for all new family member to bond with their pup and with us as their breeder. Having an "Open door" policy has done wonders for us and for our Retriever family as it put their minds at ease and helped with our puppies to transition much more easily. It saddens me to say that the "Open Door" police will be no more. This is something we all have to come to terms with and I will do my absolute best to keep you all updated and stay in contact throughout your pups life here and when with you. I hope I can reinstate this policy soon and we get back to normal but I unfortunately had to make this difficult decision not only for our safety but yours as well.
I do normally recommend and insist everyone to see their pups in person every chance they can but due to this world wide change, new safety concerns, Health risks, rising thefts and Federal and state restrictions & mandates I am at this time unable to allow any home visits NO EXCEPTIONS! Here is the great news! Virtual meet & greets are just as effective as personal meetings. You have all the great things that come with meeting in person such as seeing pups in real time, watching them live, and you can see their progress as they grow anytime you want WITHOUT all the health and safety risk, you save time and money this way by saving on gas, and you can do this any where in the world.
We understand the need and want to see our litter and your potential family member and it pains me to do this but we can not risk the health and safety of ourselves and our kids. My Retrievers and my family are my everything and I can not risk what I have worked so hard for to be in jeopardy.
Also due to the rise in puppy thefts that is occurring in California (Or in general). We can only consider in person meet and greets in a public neutral place where we all are safe and only once pup has had shots, are ready to go home (possible before depending on Covid), balance has been paid in full and only if I feel it will be safe for all involved. This is not guaranteed but I am very hopeful we can have in person meetings at some point during this litters growth. Please be patient as we try to navigate this new world we are currently in and understand we are still learning. I am extremely confident that this is not only the right way to proceed but the safest for all involved. This minimizes human contact and adheres to the new rules set in place for us as far as social distancing & stay at home orders here in California. Again our top priority is health and that not only includes the health of my animals but me personally, my family members and to you; our potential new SGR family members as well!
I am here for you and want to help you through this process so please feel free to contact me with any of your concerns or questions. |
